The first handful of college football Week 2 games is wrapping up, which teams gave their fanbases the biggest reason to be concerned going forward?

First off, this is a list that you don’t want to see your team on. There was a lot of college football this weekend and most schools took care of business. However, just because they came home with a W doesn’t mean you feel too good about it. If they did get upset, the Panic Meter is understandably through the roof.

The first set of free passes go to West Virginia, Kansas State and Maryland. All three of those squads took care of inferior opponents with ease, winning by a combined score of ####-###. There wasn’t much to see here, with the exception of an acrobatic touchdown from Charlotte quarterback Hassan Klugh. The good teams are good.

There weren’t any matchups between two Top 25 teams during the first slate of games. Four ranked teams took the field in the 12:00 p.m. ET games. Only one of them, Louisville, played a FBS opponent. It was still a week featuring plenty of FCS teams and lesser opponents as the Power-5 squads make some final tuneups before conference play begins in the coming weeks.

Cupcakes or not, it wasn’t smooth sailing for everyone. Now for the meat, where does your team fall on the Panic Meter after Week 2?
